Author's Note: Hey guys, this may not be the longest but it's full of heart!
Guy and Gal were sitting on the edge on one of Megadale's skyscrapers looking at the skyline.
While Gal and Guy may be bothered staying silent with anyone else, sometimes it was nice to just be silent with each other. To just reflect on what separated them from everyone else.
They had a special thing with each other, they had met while transformed but whenever they look into each other's faces, even while transformed, they saw Gal and Guy, not DudePow and SheZow. They wish they could think everybody who knew their secret saw that too, but it wasn't true.
They could see it in their friend's faces, every wrong pronoun said while normal, they could see their friends tried but sometimes you need somebody who went through the same thing. Somebody who could understand.
Their relationship was based on mutual understanding.
Sure they had their goofy points, like the time they got into a water gun fight with Fizzburp, and just pure attraction, but what made their relationship so deep was their mutual understanding.
Few could understand what it's like to be a superhero, a whole new person. To be depended on by thousands of people, who brush off the real you.
But they could understand each other, because they had the same pressure thrusted on them each and every day. To have the same fear of being outed, and all they ever loved going up in smoke. For the public's opinion to change and being faced with ridicule everywhere they turned.
It was a ridiculous amount of pressure to be forced upon when you're only in middle school and your only support is your best friend, your twin and a supercomputer. But the responsibility was given to them anyway.
They also knew that their powers, the responsibility, the fear and the pressure would stay with them until they passed. It destroyed dreams.
Sure, being a superhero was cool, but they had dreams for the future they can no longer carry out with superheroing. Their friends involved in their work can move on, explore the world and pursue multiple careers, but they had stay in the same city trapped with its walls, never to have choice because the ring chose them.
But with each other they weren't SheZow and DudePow, superheroes. They were Guy and Gal, kids.
An alarm blared a couple blocks away and they could see a criminal fleeing with no police pursuit.
Gal laced her fingers with Guy's and gave a gentle smile.
"You go, girl!"
"Sock it to me, broseph!"
